I have just started using win8.1. Yesterday I locked my PC and went to a lecture. Then when I came back, I saw that my lockscreen was changed. I navigated to log-in screen, and saw a different username: XIT (XIT is the abbreviation for my university's IT service. But there should not be any user on my PC named XIT!) Then I switched user, logged into mine, checked user account settings and saw that XIT had admin rights. How can that be possible?
On my PC, there is only one user and that is me. XIT did not install win8.1, I installed it. They control our network, but I do not think that someone from our university's IT, would just crack into my PC for fun. Maybe someone else did it and named the user account after XIT.
What I am wondering is, is there a way to add a new account without logging into my account? Is there a hotkey or something?
Thank you very much for the suggestion. I set a password for administrator account. – Xentius – 2014-09-25T06:46:19.043
But I have a question: I am not sure whether administrator acc. was enabled or not. I do not have that option while selecting users. (Do not see a administrator account so that I would log in to.) Even this is the case, can someone login to administrator account? – Xentius – 2014-09-25T06:51:39.713
Usually the Administrator account is hidden. You can log in as Administrator in Safe Mode. – lyubolp – 2014-09-25T16:50:36.250
